Other UN organisations (UNSCEAR, WHO)

Created in 1955, the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation periodically draws up syntheses of all the international scientific data on the sources and risks of radiation for the environment and health. It proposes risk estimates and the results of this work are used by other organisations to propose dose limits and radiation protection measures.

The French Nuclear Safety Authority is tasked, on behalf of the State, with regulating nuclear safety and radiation protection in order to protect workers, patients, the public and the environment from the risks involved in nuclear activities in France. It also contributes to informing the citizens.
